It's fairly common for people to use a hospital that isn't technically within the health board area that they reside in. For example, people in Ogmore by Sea or Ewenny naturally use the Princess of Wales Hospital in Bridgend, even though they're not within the local health board area, and that will continue in the future. He's absolutely right to point out that there are opportunities with the metro to make sure that people are able to travel more easily, and he makes an important and interesting point about having a stop at the SCCC.

In terms of transport generally, I know that the Cabinet Secretaries who are responsible for transport and health will work together to make sure that the SCCC has those transport links, and I know that the ambulance services trust has also been very closely involved in the local development of plans for the SCCC.
